Then and Now: The first year of Top One Project in showbiz

Adrian Pascual was among the youngest auditionees for GMA's 'To The Top.' He sang Sam Smith's 'Lay Me Down.'

Joshua Jacobe performed his rendition of 'Jealous' for the 'To The Top' auditions.

Louie Pedroso auditioned performing Olly Murs' 'Wrapped Up.'

Mico Cruz rendered an acoustic version of 'Jealous' for his audition. It was the same piece he sang when he got nominated for the sing-off battle in the elimination round of 'To The Top.'

Joshua pulled off an edgy look for his professional shoot with Mark Nicdao.

Miko has long claimed the dapper look in his suit jackets. He also noted how he was very particular with his hairstyle.

Mico confessed feeling uneasy at first about the idea of a makeover but trusted the expertise of his stylists and the skill of Mark Nicdao.

His boyish charms got Adrian the monicker 'Bulakenyong Baby Boy.'

With all his gift in playing instruments and composing music, Miko deserved the title 'The Music Man.'

Louie's spirited personality got him the monicker 'Medyo Pilyo.'

After gruelling dance and sing-off battles and gaining approval among the industry's top music
personalities, Joshua, Adrian, Mico, Louie, and Miko were declared winners of 'To The Top' and formed 'Top One Project.'

T.O.P. made a name for themselves in the music scene in no time.

They went on a tour and graced gigs and high profile events, their biggest crowd rounding up to thousands.

T.O.P. has released their first and self-titled album under GMA Records. They also received two nominations at the 8th PMPC Star Awards.

Adrian is the group's choreographer and beatboxer.

Joshua also functions as the group's choreographer and instrumentalist.

Aside from being their lyricist, Louie is T.O.P.'s resident rapper.

Mico is also the group's lyricist and crooner.
